{: #security}
Learn more about strategies that are available for you to use to ensure that your {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} data remains secure and protected in the cloud. {: shortdesc}
For more information about {{site.data.keyword.Bluemix_notm}} security, see Security architecture{: external}.
The following feature is available with Plus and Premium plans only.
{: #security-private-endpoints}
You can set up a private network for {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} instances that are part of a Plus or Premium service plan. Using a private network prevents data from being transferred over the public internet, and ensures greater data isolation.
Private network endpoints support routing services over the {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} private network instead of the public network. A private network endpoint provides a unique IP address that is accessible to you without a VPN connection.
For implementation details, see Public and private network endpoints{: external}.
{: #security-private-endpoint-notes}
- The integrations that are provided with the product require endpoints that are available on the public internet. Therefore, any built-in integrations you add to your assistant will have public endpoints. If you only want to connect to a client application or messaging channel over the private network, then you must build your own custom client application or channel integration.
- Before you can create a search skill, you must create a {{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} instance with a private network endpoint. The list of {{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} instances that are displayed for you to connect to includes only instances with private network endpoints. Normally, when you create a search skill and do not have any {{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} instances, a Lite plan instance is provisioned for you automatically. No instance is provisioned for you when you are using a private network. You must create a {{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} instance with a private network endpoint first.
